The catch? Giving up a slice of equity in your company. Winners will be offered a package deal that includes development services to get the product launched.

Code Authority will choose one or more competitors who are designated as “Overall Winners” at the Pitch Day Event. Winners will be offered a specific package of benefits and be offered a customized partnership with Code Authority.

This partnership will include a collection of services in exchange for a minority stake in the startup. If an agreement is reached between the parties these winners will benefit from a significant amount of free custom software design, development, and/or website development and hosting services. We hope to choose winners for whom these services will be enough to “launch” the startup. Code Authority will become a long term partner and investor in these startups.

Still, this could be a great opportunity for people with an idea that need help with development.
